DESCRIPTION
You can use the hotfix component to install a hotfix onto a volume, view information about available hotfixes,
or delete unwanted hotfixes.
Use the create-volume option with the hotfix component to create new volumes.
Note: You use the slot_id option only for chassis systems and only when displaying the values for the options
of a specific hotfix. You do not use the slot_id option when installing or deleting a hotfix, because these
commands operate on all blades or the entire system.
